THE CONNECTICTT WTTTtI.

The interesting figures of the report of
the Connecticut Mutual Life published in
our columns will commend themselves to
the reader. One of the oldest and sturdi.st
of American companies. its growth has
been as rapid As it has been solid Its total
assets are SIS, 600. 900 and over. anc; more
than 63. 900 people are insured. Its surplus
on the > per cent. standard is more than
$1,000, 600. In these days of extravagant
management ii is pleasant TO note a severe
standard of conservatism and economy
rigidIy adhered to. Policy holders will not
sleep less well a nights to know that the
affairs of the company. to which the future
provision for their families is intrusted, are
conducted purely to the interest and secti-
rity of its patrons. The real estate schedule
indicates great care in investment One or
two other companies may boast of bigger
figures. We are quite sure that none pre-
sentS more attraction to the prudent man
seeking insurance.

After all there is no such thing As "Jef-
ferSonian Simplicity"-and never was The
New York Star. whose editor, ex-Gofernor
Dorsheimer, is an expert both as to democ-
racy and simplicity, says:
If plain and simple life is necessary to a
democrat, then Thomas jefferson was not
a democrat. He was fond of sumptuous
living. He kept good horses. built a fine
house. which was well stocked with wines
of rare yintages and adorned with paintings
and sculpture. He was one of the first
Americans to maintain a chef, whom he
brought from Paris when he retHrned to
this country from the French mission. This
50 excited the ire of Patrick Henry that he
denounced Jefferson for having "abjured
his native victuals."
Thus. one by one. our time-honored ira
ditiOnS get rubbed ruthlessly out and pass
